Ration 365
May 28, 2025
For dairy farmers, the number one goal is to feed a balanced ration that supports both high-efficiency milk production and animal health 365 days per year for the complete herd. This ration starts with the crops grown in the field including silage corn and forage crops. The team at Maizex has tested and assembled an industry-best product portfolio of corn hybrids and forage seed products, derived from one of the largest pre-commercial testing programs in the country. The result is a product portfolio for your ration needs throughout the year called Ration 365.
The nutritional demands of a dairy herd vary across the production cycle. That’s why the Maizex forage and silage corn portfolio is designed to optimize rations for every stage of the herd—maximizing production, health, and long-term performance.
Lactating Cows
High-producing cows need a ration that delivers consistent energy, digestibility, and palatability. Our high-quality silage hybrids and forages help ensure strong milk components and production throughout lactation.
Dry Cows
Proper nutrition in the dry period is critical to a smooth transition into lactation. A high-quality corn silage base balanced with low-potassium dry cow hay support optimal rumen function and metabolic health during this key phase.
Heifers
Growing replacement heifers need steady, efficient gains to reach breeding weight on time. Our forage grasses and alfalfa mixes provide the right balance of fiber and protein to promote healthy development.
Calves
Early nutrition lays the foundation for future performance. High-quality forages play an important role in starter rations and in supporting rumen development as calves transition to solid feed.
We know that every farm is different in its approach to feed use and efficiency. This is why we offer a range of products to meet individual needs. Your Maizex representative is an invaluable resource to guide you in selecting the best forage mixes and silage corn to achieve your goals.
